ww stock 3.2 update zip, no root?

Could somebody make a thread & upload 3.2 ww stock, no root? OTA failed and refuses to appear again... would be much appreaciated.
The ASUS update launcher zip format would be perfect, e.g. which you place as ASUS on the sdcard root. Or is this possible to create from an existing installation or is the only way to wait for Asus to publish it on the support site?

I'd appreciate this as well.
From Asus support:
The firmware update will be available next week on our support site.

Still not updated, can't even download if you change the version number of the file being downloaded. I need a US HC 3.2 stock image, cause I can't convince my tab to update to 3.2 OTA.

You can't downgrade just like that,and so far the only method is this,but is not for TF700T.
Anyway make sure "Debug USB" is enabled in Settings/Developer Options and also "Unknown Sources under Settings/Security and use Debugfs for rooting.

Thank you for your response: it's not totaly secure for Infinity .. Is there a method to re install boot without downgrade?

Thank you for your response: it's not totaly secure for Infinity .. Is there a method to re install boot without downgrade? I can't with Debugfs ...

You have to provide us more info,why Debugfs is not working?AFAIK Debugfs is the only safe rooting application for Transformer Infinity,and i used that for rooting my ww 9.4.5.26 device.
BTW instead of downgrading u could use this method to get back to a stock/clean rom:
1)Download the WW 9.4.5.26 firmware from Asus site
2)Extract the .zip file somewere on your desktop (the result will be another .zip file,use it for step 3)
3)Rename the extracted archive to "EP201_768_SDUPDATE" (without the " ") and upload it to a MicroSD card
4)Insert the MicroSD card in your tablet and use this button combination to Power ON and go to recovery --> Start the tablet by pressing Volume- and POWER togheter for 5 seconds ,a message will inform you that you have 5 seconds to enter the recovery,press Volume+ when you see that message.
At this point the device will start in recovery and should start updating your firmware

Finally, root was successfull with Debugfs after removing Asus Sync (?) and several attempts. I don't find the thread I read for...
Thank you for your help.

Does anyone know a tutorial "how to duskgrade firmware" ?

No, because it is impossible, as far as I know. The only route to go is unlocking your bootloader and installing a custom ROM based on the earlier stock ROM version.

I think he was making a joke since the thread is asking for a "dawngrade" and since its not easy, he asked for a "duskgrade" instead. I agree with you about needing an unlocked bootloader. Maybe there's a way to use the packages from [CWM] Repackaged OTA update 9.4.5.26 US/WW versions and swap blobs? blob our way down the firmware revisions?

I guess that could work, although I doubt anyone in his right mind would downgrade from .26 to .22.
Oh, and i noticed the spelling joke only after replying. Decided to keep my idiotic comment for all to see.

TF700 Root on JB

As of right now, there is no way of rooting a TF700 on the latest stock firmware, correct? I was reading through the All About the Infinity thread and there was a method listed but I'm not sure if it's been updated to reflect the latest OTA. Is there an official thread where an announcement will be made when a method of rooting has been discovered?

To root JB directly, you need to UNLOCK your device. If don't want to unlock then you have to downgrade back to ICS .30 in order to root.

Currently the only thing to get root in JB with locked bootloader is: downgrade to ICS, root, use OTA root keeper, run OTA upgrade manually.
A more direct way is only possible if someone discovers a new security hole in JB - if and when this will happen, is impossible to know.

Interesting but makes sense. Question tho, if you have unlocked, rooted, installed custom rom, AND also updated to ASUS newest boot loader can you get back to a locked or unlocked ICS state WITH the OLD boot loader ? I am sure I know the answer tho ... And sorry if this is considered a double post to my other one.
Cheers

From what I read in some other threads: you can downgrade to ICS 9.4.5.30, but not to the 9.4.5.26 bootloader.

yes, _that is correct, the only way you can go below .30 (back to .26...) is if you have a backup of your bootloader using NVflash.

Rooting question
I have the latest firmware update, running STOCK jelly bean, NOT unlocked and NOT rooted. If I use the ASUS unlock tool, will that unlock my tf700 and root it? And then I can just flash custom recovery and load CleanROM.. correct? Coming from samsung vibrant, galaxy nexus, nexus 7 and tf101 here.

No, unlock is just unlock, you need to do root separately. Follow this threads, he's doing the same things you're doing

You say that for root, the device has to be downgraded first. Isn't it the same for unlocking? Is it possible to unlock JB without downgrading to ICS?

I'm by no means a pro at this, but from my research, you no longer need to downgrade to ICS. This is a pretty old thread. There is an unlock tool now available for JB

[Q] Rooted JB 4.1.1 stuck on .23 firmware

Hi all,
I'm rooted on JB 4.1.1 but since installing the 10.4.4.23 update OTA I'm stuck. I can't get any further updates neither OTA or by loading them on SD card and doing power+volume exercise. Any suggestion?

What happens when you try (the "power+volume exercise" as you put it)?

It starts loading new firmware ok but after while it ends up with broken android picture. Then after restart it recovers to the old version.

I am not sure if you follow the correct step to manually flash firmware on the tf700 using the stock recovery, I will reproduce the steps below just in case you miss it:
1) Download the desired Asus stock firmware (based on your SKU,eg. ww 9.4.5.26 ) *** to downgrade from Jelly Bean you need the 9.4.5.30 firmware***
2) Extract the .zip file somewere on your desktop (the result will be another .zip file,use it for step 3)
3) Rename the extracted archive to "EP201_768_SDUPDATE.ZIP" (without the " ") and upload it to a MicroSD card
4) Insert the MicroSD card in your tablet and use this button combination to Power ON and go to recovery --> Start the tablet by pressing Volume Down and POWER togheter for 5 seconds ,a message will inform you that you have 5 seconds to enter the recovery,press Volume UP before the 5 seconds expire.
At this point the device will go in recovery and should start updating your firmware .
Based on my experience, there are two important things to remember:
1. Your MicroSD card MUST BE FORMATTED AS FAT32, otherwise the stock recovery will not see the firmware file, hence the broken Android. I have tried NTFS and exFAT, both don't work. I am very sure about this.
2. You should use your computer to download the firmware and do all the preparation on your computer as well. For some unknown reason, I can never get the stock recovery to see the firmware zip file if I use my tablet to download it. I could just be imagining things, but I tend to stick to what works.

Hi,
But I don't want to downgrade. I want to keep my root and continue with the stock upgrades. As mentioned my last upgrade was the 10.4.4.23 and since that i couldn't upgrade.
Just one more info, I have cleared some of the ASUS bloatware as one of the first thing when on JB and rooted.

The OTA updates work only if all updated files are present and unmodified. If you deleted some files, you either need to restore them to the original version, or install a full ASUS firmware and re-root using Motochopper.

But how do I install full ASUS fw or which one? In regards of Motochopper does it root JB?

The instructions I gave you earlier are meant for a full reflash of any ASUS firmware, not just to downgrade. You can download any firmware and follow the steps to reflash. The reason .30 firmware was mentioned is because those instructions were written when Motochopper wasn't available, and downgrading back to ICS was the only way to root the tablet without unlocking. Luckily, with Motochopper you can now root JB without the hassle of downgrading and updating back to JB.
In brief, if you don't want ASUS Service Center's help to fix your OTA problem, just flash a full firmware as mentioned above (which will obviously remove your current root access) and then use Motochopper to obtain root again.

But that's my problem. I have tried to install the 10.4.4.25 fw and I'm getting the broken android all the time. As in previous post I have cleared some bloatware and that can be the problem. So how to reinstall stock? I understand the Motochopper now.

I had the same issue. Here's how I successfully installed the update.
I made sure no system apps were disabled or uninstalled.
Removed my SD card.
Connected the TF700 to my PC and put the Update.zip file in the root directory.
Disconnected from the PC and rebooted.
That worked for me.
PS. I did lose root but motochopper got it back.

What version of stock fw did u put as the update.zip?

That's your problem, I would guess. You removed system apps or bloatware that were part of the rom.
Hopefully you had it backed up! Restore everything you removed, then try the update again.
If you do not have a backup the stock update will fail.
